continue to evolve & get
even better!".
Leza Luckett, Ashford
Central School, "The
workshop was really well
done. We got through a
great deal of learning".
Marianne Fernandes, The
Childrens Hospital School,
"Just right - even the
spacing of content and the
breaks were appropriate.
I'm so glad for the
opportunity as I’m now
really able to help my
students as they access
their school work through
Moodle".
Priscilla Adei-Cardwell,
Merewether High School, "An excellent inservice!".
Dimitri Anikin, Bowen Public
School, "The course was
great, detailed and well
presented. I now use these
skills everyday in my
teaching."

School, "The whole
workshop was excellent".
Debbie Kiely, Willoughby
Girls High School, "The
amount we covered in the day
was huge, yet it was very
well paced".
Beck Pendlebury, Putland
Education and Training Unit,
"Very useful! It gave
me valuable time to play
with the software myself".
Russell Smith, Chifley
College Senior Campus, "I thought the presenter did
an outstanding job in
meaningfully covering an
enormous amount of content
in the single day".
Tania Thomas, Pennant Hills
High School, "The course
was fantastic. It was set
up really well, we all had
power points to ensure that
our laptops were charged for
the whole day, we could see
the screen clearly, the

he was talking about, there
were assistants helping
those that needed help...
a great day!" .

providing the roving helpers
solved a lot of problems and
showed great foresight. It
made a huge difference".
